I understand Australia has been under cyber attack for several days. @Kate Ellery is any of that affecting You?
We are fine so ….No @Don Alaska we don’t have Optus network , We both have Aldi phone plans but they use Telstra network the oldest telecom company in Australia We also have Telstra internet. Actually when I bought the phone number I have ( mobile) 20 years ago it was a Optus phone plan it was hopeless the moment you traveled any further than 30 km outside the city so I’d never ever consider Optus. OMG the outage / hack put a lot into a spin with the never ending push for a cashless society some businesses simply shut its doors for 2 days cause they simply couldn’t operate This is the second time this year Optus has been “hit” https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-11...-around-australias-cashless-society/103091402
So glad to hear it. I understand many ports are also shut down for a while, so that might affect your supply chain in the near future. I don't understand why suddenly Australia is a target.
Yes seen on morning news ( it’s still morning here ) 8. 45 am ) on MONDAY The outage has caused major delays in getting shipping containers moved from docks to trucks to be delivered to businesses We have a major port in Adelaide …Port Adelaide it’s called so it will be overflowing with stacks ad stacks of shipping containers as well as various makes of cars that all come into “ the port “ as we call it the yards were overflowing last time we passed the storage yards a week ago @Don Alaska I must find the tread where I chatted about to tomatoes to you last year… off topic naughty me
Please explain @John Brunner Ya know us Aussie live our lives standing on our heads so we don’t understand some of you ….who don’t live near us Aussies ya no
Shirley called out your name as though she were genuinely concerned for your safety. For some reason, that image of the chicks finding their friend after it's too late came to mind. (Of course, it went from in-shell state to in-pan state without achieving chick state, but we're not supposed to overthink these things.) The disconnect is not an American/Aussie thing, it's just me. I'm sure the other Yanks here would beseech you to not conflate my way of being with theirs...I think different[ly].
